Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power tool storage technology, and in particular to a power tool rack with anti-theft function. Background Technology

[0002] Power tool racks, used to hang tools such as drills and wrenches, are particularly common in confined spaces like garages and workshops. They effectively save floor and countertop space, and their open layout makes tools easily visible, reducing search time and significantly improving work efficiency. However, most existing power tool racks are open-designed, posing certain safety hazards in multi-shift workshops. Specifically, after some shifts have finished get off work, personnel from other shifts may take tools from other shifts without informing them and forget to return them. This not only easily leads to chaos in workshop tool management and conflicts between production workers but can also result in the loss of power tools, causing economic losses for the company.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Existing power tool racks typically employ an open design, which, while convenient for access, can easily lead to tools being taken or even lost in environments with multiple users or poor management. For example, in large workshops where different shifts share a tool rack, the security of the tools after get off work is difficult to guarantee. To address this issue, this invention proposes a power tool rack with anti-theft functionality. It utilizes a movable U-shaped rod 7 and a rotatable guardrail 6 mounted on the rack body 1, along with a locking assembly including a locking plate 15, a lock 14, a locking rod 10, and a connecting rod 11, to achieve dual locking of the power tools and items inside the rack, effectively improving tool security.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 The power tool holder shown includes a frame 1, on which a support rod 4 for hanging power tools is provided, and further includes:

[0031] U-shaped rod 7, with its two ends movably disposed in the two support rods 4, and used to prevent the power tool on the support rod 4 from being removed in the locked position;

[0032] Two side panels 6 are hinged together and used to cover the opening of the frame 1 in the closed position. One of the side panels 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 1.

[0033] The locking assembly includes a locking plate 15 with a lock 14, which is fixedly connected to the end of another panel 6. The side wall of the locking plate 15 has a locking port that engages with the U-shaped rod 7. A locking rod 10 is slidably connected inside the locking plate 15. One end of the locking rod 10 extends into the locking port. A connecting rod 11 is provided at the end of the locking rod 10. The lock 14 is used to drive the connecting rod 11 to move. The locking rod 10 is used to engage with the U-shaped rod 7 in the locked state to lock the U-shaped rod 7 in the locked position and lock the panel 6 in the closed position.

[0034] A locking hole is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped rod 7, and a drive groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the locking hole. The drive groove 13 is an oblique groove used to drive the locking rod 10 to move and engage with the locking hole when the U-shaped rod 7 moves to the locking position.

[0035] The working principle of this anti-theft power tool rack is as follows: During use, the power tools are placed on the support rod 4 of the rack 1. If accessories such as batteries and chargers need to be stored, they can be placed inside the rack 1 in the area covered by the side panels 6. When the tools are stored and the anti-theft locking operation is required, first move the U-shaped rod 7 to the locking position on the support rod 4 to prevent the power tools from being removed. Then, rotate the two side panels 6 to the closed position to cover the opening of the rack 1. At this time, the locking plate 15 fixed to one of the railings 6 is located near the locking port of the U-shaped rod 7. Rotating the U-shaped rod 7 into the locking port causes the drive groove 13 on the U-shaped rod 7 to press the locking rod 10, compressing the first spring 12 and causing it to move. When the U-shaped rod 7 is fully rotated into the locking port, the compressed first spring 12 returns to its original position, pushing the locking rod 10 back to its original position. One end of the reset locking rod 10 is then inserted into the locking hole on the side wall of the U-shaped rod 7, thus locking the U-shaped rod 7 in its current position, preventing it from moving or rotating. The power tool is thus fixed to the support rod 4 and cannot be removed. Simultaneously, because the locking plate 15 is fixed to the railing 6, the extension of the locking rod 10 also locks the railing 6 in the closed position, preventing it from being opened, thereby protecting the items stored below the railing 6. When tools or items need to be accessed, simply use lock 14 to unlock it (e.g., turn the key). Lock 14 drives linkage 11 to move, causing lock bar 10 to retract and disengage from the locking hole of U-shaped bar 7. At this time, U-shaped bar 7 can be moved away, and panel 6 can be rotated open, allowing easy access to power tools and internal items. In this process, frame 1 provides overall support, support rod 4 provides the suspension position, U-shaped bar 7 and panel 6 provide physical barriers, and locking assembly provides a reliable locking mechanism. All components work together to achieve the anti-theft function of the rack.

[0036] Compared to the open-style power tool racks commonly used in existing technologies, the core innovation of this invention lies in the introduction of an active anti-theft locking mechanism. Existing racks only provide a storage location and cannot prevent tools from being taken at will. This invention, however, cleverly connects two movable physical barriers—a U-shaped rod 7 and a guardrail 6—to a unified locking assembly. Specifically, the U-shaped rod 7 directly acts on the suspended power tool, preventing it from being lifted; the guardrail 6 encloses the internal space of the rack, protecting stored accessories. Most importantly, through the interlocking engagement of the locking rod 10 with the U-shaped rod 7 and the guardrail 6, a single operation of the lock 14 can simultaneously lock both the tools and the contents, creating a closed and secure storage environment. This design significantly improves the anti-theft performance of the rack and overcomes the security shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sliding rod 8 is slidably connected in the cavity inside the support rod 4, and a U-shaped rod 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the sliding rod 8 via a rotating shaft 9, so that the U-shaped rod 7 can slide along the length direction of the support rod 4 and rotate around the rotating shaft 9.

[0038] In implementation, a sliding rod 8 is installed in the internal cavity of the support rod 4, which can slide freely along the length of the support rod 4. A U-shaped rod 7 is connected to one end of the sliding rod 8 via a pivot 9, allowing the U-shaped rod 7 to rotate freely around the pivot 9. Thus, the motion of the U-shaped rod 7 is decomposed into two independent degrees of freedom: sliding along the length of the support rod 4 and rotation around the pivot 9. Through the ingenious combination of the sliding rod 8 and the pivot 9, the degrees of freedom of the U-shaped rod 7 are effectively expanded. Compared to U-shaped rods that can only be fixed in a certain position or can only slide simply, the U-shaped rod 7 of this invention can slide along the length of the support rod 4 to accommodate power tools of different sizes, and can also rotate around the pivot 9 to adjust its locking angle, thereby enabling more flexible locking of power tools. This structural design not only improves the versatility and adaptability of the hanger but also makes the locking operation more convenient and reliable.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the locking rod 10 and the connecting rod 11 are elastically connected by a first spring 12.

[0040] In practice, the function of the first spring 12 is to provide a certain elastic buffer when the locking rod 10 is subjected to external force, so that the locking rod 10 can automatically return to its original position.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, an inner mesh frame 3 is fixedly connected inside the frame 1, and the railing 6 covers the inner mesh frame 3 in the closed position.

[0042] In implementation, to achieve effective management and protection of power tool accessories, this invention includes an inner mesh frame 3 inside the frame 1. This inner mesh frame 3 is typically made of wire mesh or perforated plate and is used to store loose accessories such as batteries and chargers. Through the cooperation of the inner mesh frame 3 and the side panel 6, this invention achieves dual protection for power tools and their accessories. Compared to existing racks that only provide power tool hanging functions, this invention not only safely stores power tools but also effectively manages and protects their important accessories, thus making the entire rack's anti-theft solution more complete and improving the security and standardization of tool management.

[0043] As one embodiment of this utility model, a crossbar 5 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0044] In practice, to further expand the functionality of the rack and improve space utilization, a crossbar 5 is added to the bottom of the frame 1. The crossbar 5 can be used to hang hand tools such as wrenches, or to place workers' personal belongings such as keys and name tags.

[0045] As one embodiment of this utility model, the lock 14 includes a housing 141 fixedly connected to the lock plate 15 and a lock cylinder 142 rotatably disposed within the housing 141. Multiple limiting rods 144 of different lengths are respectively connected to the housing 141 by multiple second springs 143. Multiple top rods 145 of different lengths are slidably connected to the lock cylinder 142. The lock cylinder 142 and the connecting rod 11 are connected by a transmission component.

[0046] The transmission components include:

[0047] Pull rod 148 is fixedly connected to lock cylinder 142, and a locking block 146 is fixedly connected to the surface of pull rod 148;

[0048] The limiting groove 147 is formed in the inner shell of the outer shell 141 and is used to limit the position of the locking block 146;

[0049] Rotary rod 149 is rotatably connected to the end of pull rod 148, and the end of rotary rod 149 is fixedly connected to connecting rod 11.

[0050] In implementation, to achieve both security and ease of operation for the lock 14, this utility model employs a preferred lock structure. Specifically, the lock 14 includes a housing 141 fixedly connected to the lock plate 15 and a lock cylinder 142 rotatably disposed within the housing 141. The housing 141 is typically made of metal or plastic and serves to protect the lock cylinder 142 and its internal mechanisms. The lock cylinder 142 is the core component of the lock 14, and it contains multiple second springs 143 and multiple limiting rods 144 of varying lengths. Multiple push rods 145 of varying lengths are slidably connected to the lock cylinder 142, and these push rods 145 correspond to the limiting rods 144. Only when the correct key is inserted into the lock cylinder 142 can all the limiting rods 144 align with the push rods 145, thereby allowing the lock cylinder 142 to rotate freely. The lock cylinder 142 and the connecting rod 11 are connected by a transmission component. When the lock cylinder 142 rotates, it can release the movement limit of the connecting rod 11, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the lock rod 10.

[0051] When the lock cylinder 142 rotates, it drives the pull rod 148 to rotate the locking block 146, causing the locking block 146 to rotate out of the limiting groove 147. This removes the limiting groove 147 from the locking block 146, making it easier to move the pull rod 148, the rotating rod 149, and the connecting rod 11 by pulling the lock cylinder 142. The movement of the connecting rod 11 drives the locking rod 10 to move, thereby moving the locking rod 10 out of the locking hole and achieving the purpose of unlocking.

[0052] As one embodiment of this utility model, the frame 1 is also fixedly connected to an mounting plate 2 for fixing the frame 1 to the wall.

[0053] In practice, to ensure stable installation and safe use of the hanger, this invention includes a mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1. The mounting plate 2 is typically made of sheet metal and has multiple mounting holes for securing the frame 1 to a wall or other supporting structure using screws, expansion bolts, or other fasteners. The position of the mounting plate 2 can be rationally selected based on the structure and center of gravity of the frame 1 to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the hanger.

[0054] Working principle of this utility model:

[0055] In this type of power tool rack, expansion bolts are used in conjunction with mounting plate 2 to fix the rack 1 to the wall of the workshop. The inner mesh rack 3 fixedly connected to the rack 1 is used to place replacement batteries, chargers and other equipment for power tools. Multiple sets of support rods 4 fixedly connected to the rack 1 are used to hold power tools. A crossbar 5 is also fixedly connected to the rack 1, which is used to hang hand tools such as wrenches, and also to place personal items such as keys and name tags for workshop workers to prevent loss of personal items during work.

[0056] Before leaving get off work, staff will put away their tools. After placing batteries, chargers and other equipment on the inner mesh frame 3 and power tools on the support rod 4, the user will rotate the guardrail 6 to make the two guardrails 6 horizontal. At this time, the two guardrails 6 can cover the top of the inner mesh frame 3, preventing other shifts from taking them to replace batteries and other parts after the staff leaves work.

[0057] On the other hand, after the power tool is placed on the support rod 4, the staff can slide the U-shaped rod 7. After the pivot 9 connecting the U-shaped rod 7 and the slide rod 8 slides to the outside of the support rod 4, the U-shaped rod 7 can rotate relative to the support rod 4. At this time, the user can insert the U-shaped rod 7 into the slot and use the locking rod 10 to lock the rotation of the U-shaped rod 7. In this way, the power tool on the support rod 4 cannot be taken out, which has a good anti-theft effect.

[0058] In addition, in this design, if a staff member borrows a power tool before leaving get off work, the staff member can return the power tool separately after use. After returning the power tool, the staff member can place the power tool on the support rod 4 and then use the U-shaped rod 7 and the locking rod 10 to lock the power tool on the support rod 4, which effectively meets the user's needs for power tool management.

[0059] The panel 6 is equipped with a lock 14. When locked, the connecting rod 11 cannot move. When unlocked, the user can slide the connecting rod 11 to move the locking rod 10, so that the U-shaped rod 7 can disengage from the slot. After all the U-shaped rods 7 are separated from the slot, the staff can rotate the panel 6 to take the items on the inner mesh shelf 3. The locking rod 10 and the connecting rod 11 are connected by the first spring 12. Even when the connecting rod 11 is locked, the U-shaped rod 7 can be driven to move by the drive groove 13 that cooperates with the locking rod 10. However, when the U-shaped rod 7 is stuck on the locking rod 10, the locking rod 10 is stuck inside the U-shaped rod 7. At this time, unless the lock 14 is unlocked and the connecting rod 11 is slid, the locking rod 10 cannot be moved. Thus, the power tool can still be returned after the lock 14 is locked.

[0060] The lock 14 includes a housing 141 fixedly connected to the lock plate 15, a lock cylinder 142 rotatably connected inside the housing 141, and multiple limiting rods 144 of different lengths connected inside the housing 141 by a second spring 143. Multiple push rods 145 of different lengths are slidably connected to the lock cylinder 142. After the key is inserted into the lock cylinder 142, the multiple limiting rods 144 and the push rods 145 are positioned at the junction of the lock cylinder 142 and the housing 141. At this time, the user can rotate the lock cylinder 142, causing the locking block 146 to separate from the limiting groove 147, and then pull the key. The lock cylinder 142 drives the pull rod 148 to move, the pull rod 148 drives the rotating rod 149 to move, and the rotating rod 149 drives the connecting rod 11 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model.
